Automated Turbidometry - A Method for Enumeration of Bacteria in Food Samples
1Food Research Laboratory, Technical Research Centre, Biologinkuja 1,02150 Espoo, Finland.
Abstract:
The Bioscreen analyzer was used to determine bacterial counts in cooked food samples (sausages, hamburgers and French fries). The results indicated that the bacterial count as determined by the plate count method can be predicted accurately with the Bioscreen analyzer by using turbidometric parameters of bacterial growth. Stepwise regression analysis by the turbidometric variables was performed for the different food samples to develop a formula for predicting bacterial growth. The detection time of bacterial growth was considered the most important predictor selected by the stepwise regression analysis.

Sampling Methods: Sample Types
Solid samples include a variety of substances, such as sediments from water bodies, soil, metals, and biological tissues. Two standard methods for extracting sediments from water bodies are grab sampling and piston coring. Grab sampling involves using a device to collect a discrete sediment sample from the bottom of a water body with minimal disturbance. Grab samples do not always represent the entire area due to...
